Collin McHugh has been shut down for the season due to his innings workload.

Between the majors and minors, McHugh has tossed a career-high 173 2/3 innings this season. That's only four more than he threw in 2012 but 34 2/3 more than he threw last year, so the Astros have obviously decided it's enough. McHugh was one of the biggest breakout surprises this season, posting a 2.73 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 157/41 K/BB ratio over 154 2/3 big league innings. Mon, Sep 22, 2014 07:16:00 PM

Collin McHugh fired eight innings of one-run ball, scattering only two hits, in Tuesday's 2-1 triumph over the Mariners.

McHugh struck out four and only walked one. He was utterly and completely dominant until Logan Morrison connected for a game-tying solo homer in the eighth inning. Fortunately for McHugh, Jonathan Villar singled home the game-winning run in the top of the ninth to reward his starter with the victory. McHugh is on a serious roll. Even before crafting this gorgeous gem, he'd gone 4-0 with a 1.79 ERA in his last seven starts since losing for the last time on July 27. Overall, McHugh is 9-9 with a 2.79 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP. McHugh takes on the Indians next week. Wed, Sep 10, 2014 01:12:00 AM

Brad Peacock ran for 20 minutes Wednesday without experiencing any discomfort in his hip.

Peacock needed hip surgery last October, but his rehab has gone smoothly up to this point and he should be ready for the beginning of the 2015 regular season. The right-hander has already completed two bullpen sessions. He will be competing for the fifth spot in the Astros' starting rotation this spring.
